Episode 13 - A Conversation About Turbulent Times Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

*Before listening you may want to go back and listen to Episode 12 as we make references here to the teaching there. Listen in to a conversation between Julie Sparkman and Anna Nash as they process together how to live responsively rather than reactively in turbulent times. “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23 holds the secret. God offers us a radically different way of life where we can live out of what is within us rather than what is around us. Be refreshed as we learn to live connected with our hearts on the journey God has for us. Questions to think about: 1. Do I engage change via symptom (what it looks like on the outside) or do I look past the symptom to the source (from where is it coming)? 2. How aware am I of my heart at this particular moment?
